Handbook of Imaging in Pulmonary Disease

by Subha Ghosh (Author)

This book is a comprehensive and easy-to-read guide to pulmonary imaging. Medical Imaging is one of the cornerstones of modern medicine, and nowhere is this more apparent
than pulmonary disease. We have come a long way from the days of chest radiography, though the chest radiograph still remains the single most common imaging test ordered
worldwide. Pulmonary disease is now routinely evaluated with ultra-modern computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET)
scanners, while ultrasonography plays a limited role in critical care and pleural/chest wall diseases. Rapid advancements in the sub-specialty of chest imaging and an
exponential increase in the knowledge of pulmonary disease have led to an increasing demand for a comprehensive yet easily digestible handbook of pulmonary imaging, which
prepackages knowledge in a form that can be easily understood and readily visualized with high-quality representative images.

This book answers that need by providing the most important, relevant medical knowledge needed to handle pulmonary cases. It is divided into two sections, neoplastic disease
and non-neoplastic disease. Chapters detail essential information about each disease, including presentation and the different modalities used to accurately diagnose and/or
plan treatment. Major topics that are covered include bronchogenic carcinoma and other lung tumors, COPD, ILD, developmental lung disorders, pulmonary hypertension, and
pulmonary infections. Each chapter includes extensive radiographic images to give a complete perspective on how these diseases present. Readers can easily see what the
radiology of a particular disease entity looks like, what would be the differential diagnoses for a particular imaging abnormality, and compare the bullet review points
associated with an image to their particular case.

This is an ideal guide for general and thoracic radiologists, pulmonary, sleep medicine, and critical care specialists, thoracic surgeons, as well as residents and all
clinicians who treat patients with pulmonary disease.
